Abstract
  • This data report includes documentation of the Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) Experiment inherent optical property surveys on the continental shelf and slope in the Mid-Atlantic Bight south of Cape Cod, Massachusettes, USA. The surveys were conducted aboard the R/V Endeavor during two physical oceanography cruises: E9608 (14 August to 1 September 1996) and E9704 (25 April to 15 May 1997). The objective of the CMO Experiment was to rapidly survey a region in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (centered around 40.5°N, 70.5°W) to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution measurements which would allow further elucidation of the lengthscales, distributions and relationships between hydrographic and optical properties. This report describes the installation and deployment of the optical instrumentation as well as the data acquisition, data processing and editing of the inherent optical property data. Vertical sections and maps of the inherent optical properties obtained from the surveys are also presented.
